    Just paid for a 2-cav Lyman 311359.

    I have five different calibers I want to give it a try in!

    It's only going to work well in 30 caliber firearms.

    BTW, caliber is not equal to cartridge.

    You are right. Cartridges, not calibers, is what I meant to say.

    If they size out enough I'm thinking they may work OK in .7.62x39 and .327 Fed Mag. If not between mine and a buddy's guns we have a number of 30 cals to try it in.

    NOE TL310-225-RN-CE3 5 Cavity GC

    https://noebulletmolds.com/site/shop...3-5-cavity-gc/

    Now all I need is winter to call it quits so that I can use it. I'll probably scrub it and a MP-mold tomorrow and do the heat cycles to get them ready.

    A year ago I didn't have a clue that I'd be casting bullets, it wasn't even on my radar. Now I have 4 molds and eagerly anticipate using them. Strange how this shooting addiction works.

    JC, it might be awhile. I'm brand new to this and have sooo much to learn!

    Someone on here linked to a video re: this bullet and that's what sold me on buying it.

    yeah, that boolit looks sweet for 300BO subs and even for a Remmy 308.

    just a word of advise. I know it looks cool and possibly fun to play with, but please don't put your finger in the shiny liquidly stuff. it hurts like a sumbiscuit.

    Today I looked both the MP-mold and the NOE molds over closer since I was scrubbing them anyway. Both of them are very nicely made. Now understand that I'm very new to casting and these are my first quality molds (sorry LEE but there is a large price difference). My previous molds are LEE and I don't remember steel inserts on the female side of the alignment pins. That's a nice touch for longevity. As I write, they are in their first cool down cycle.

    My backordered Lee 356-125 -2R 9mm mold arrived today! I used to think I would never reload 9mm....Not the case now.

    My mold from Accurate came in yesterday! Ordered it Jan 19 so I'm happy. I think he's six+ weeks out now.

    It's a dual mold. Two cavities are the 31-120S that Gus Youmans had designed and the other two are 31-140W that Megasupermagnum recommended. Interesting that he put the longer bullet on the outsides and the shorter bullet in the middle.

    Now to save up for a Saeco 058 and another 4-6 week wait for it to come in.

    That's hard to find these days - nice

    Yeah, last year I started to get into loading 9mm as well when I saw the Panic starting; my only wish is that I had bought more SP primers, but I'm probably in a better position than most.

    I've been loading 9mm for quite some time. With cast boolits and stuff I bought before the panic my cost to load it was about $4.75/100.

    It took me a while to figure out the 9mm. It's not a straight wall case and has a few things that will bite ya in the butt if you're not paying attention.

    I've got it dialed in now and can crank out a thousand rounds on my 650 in short order.

    I scored a 4cav Lyman 452374 clone and a 6cav H&G #68 clone. They should be here sometime next week if USPS ever gets off their butts.......

    I scored one of those 6cav Lee’s locally for free. The gentleman who owned it said he didn’t use it and would rather give it to someone who would use it. I casted well over 1k the first day I received it. lol, yup it’s gonna get used.

    I just received a Lyman 358432 148gn SWC 2 cavity. According to the date on the booklet in the packaging, it even older than I am. The date says 3-1-75.
